Abstract
This paper presents a methodological disaggregated approach to analyze the impact of interventions on road safety. The model aims to describe the accident rates of an individual using mileage as a measure of risk exposure. The model is formulated as a system of equations that takes into account interactions between the mileage of a given individual and the other drivers. Once estimated, the model acts as a simulator allowing us to measure the performance of policy interventions to increase road safety.

These alternatives permit more flexible specification of the data-generating process (dgp) than do familiar count data models, and provide a natural means for modeling data that are over- or underdispersed by the standards of the basic models.

A survey of drivers carried out in Ontario in 1988 has provided data on time spent driving as well as the distances driven for licensed drivers of both sexes in six age groups and three regions, finding substantial differences in times, distances, and distance/time ratios.

Although both territory and prior driving record proved to have some validity in predicting a driver's accident risk, the accuracy of the prediction was low, and the relatively small unique predictive contribution of territory suggests that territory may be less important than previously believed.

New York students were more knowledgeable than Louisiana students about the restrictions, and there was more evidence in New York than Louisiana of reduced driving resulting from the curfew, consistent with results of an earlier study that found curfews in both of these states reduced crashes.

It was concluded that no simple combination of qualitative exposure measures, even when collected with the most detailed microdata techniques, promises to predict accident rate with high success, and that some conventional assumptions about the relative hazardousness of certain types of driving should be re-evaluated.
